sane-teco1 - SANE backend for TECO / RELISYS scanners

NAME

sane-teco1 - SANE backend for TECO / RELISYS scanners

DESCRIPTION

The
sane-teco1
library implements a SANE (Scanner Access Now Easy) backend that
provides access to some TECO SCSI flatbed scanners. This backend
should be considered
beta-quality
software! TECO scanners are sold under
various brands like RELISYS, PIOTECH, TRUST. This backend may or
may not support yours.

Note that the untested scanner will not be directly supported. You
should contact the author for that.
The TECO VM number can usually be found at the back of the scanner. It
is also part of the FCC ID. "sane-find-scanner -v" will also show the
scsi inquiry, and if it is a TECO scanner, the name will be there too.
The options the backend supports can either be selected through
command line options to programs like scanimage or through GUI
elements in xscanimage or xsane.

If you have any success with a scanner not listed here, or if you have
any strange behavior, please report to the backend maintainer or to
the SANE mailing list.
Valid command line options and their syntax can be listed by using

requests a preview scan. The resolution used for that scan is 22 dpi
and the scan area is the maximum allowed. The scan mode is user
selected. The default is "no".

CONFIGURATION FILE

The configuration file /etc/sane.d/teco1.conf supports only one information: the device name to use (eg /dev/scanner).

FILES

/usr/lib/arch_triplet/sane/libsane-teco1.a

The static library implementing this backend.

/usr/lib/arch_triplet/sane/libsane-teco1.so

The shared library implementing this backend (present on systems that
support dynamic loading).

ENVIRONMENT

SANE_DEBUG_TECO1

If the library was compiled with debug support enabled, this
environment variable controls the debug level for this backend. E.g.,
a value of 128 requests all debug output to be printed. Smaller levels
reduce verbosity.

LIMITATIONS

The windows TWAIN driver has many more options than this SANE
backend. However they are only software adjustments. This backend only
implements what the scanner can support.
